On Thursday night at Glastonbury the Welsh star proved she’s still a caner at heart.

Charlotte Church kicked off Glastonbury in style by swigging booze out of an Evian bottle backstage and snogging a female pal

The singer kicked off the festival in style by getting hammered in a backstage bar and snogging a female friend.

But for some ­suspicious reason, Charlotte, who is still in a relationship with long-term boyfriend Jonathan Powell, seemed keen to keep her girl-on-girl action secret.

My Glasto spies ­spotted her and her pal sneaking off to a toilet cubicle where they were alone for five minutes.

Charlotte was then overheard saying to her lady friend mid-kiss: “This is what makes us happy.”

A backstage source revealed: “Charlotte and her friend were very cosy in front of everyone at the bar, holding hands as they chatted. Charlotte looked very merry and was swigging booze out of an Evian water bottle like any old punter.

“They were in a big group of mates but the pair of them snuck off together arm in arm.

“Once they were out of view they kissed before coming back to the bar and mingled with the rest of their group while ­continuing to cuddle.”

Drinking your own booze out of a water ­bottle and snogging in the smelly compost toilets — it doesn’t get more classy than that.

But at least she’s ­getting into the spirit of the festival.

Last year, Charlotte’s Glastonbury highlight was interviewing Russian punk band PUSSY RIOT following their release from prison for staging a Moscow gig protesting against VLADIMIR PUTIN.

But it appears she’s swerving serious hard- hitting chats this year in favour of doing serious damage to the bar.

Taking inspiration from another Katie, of the MOSS variety, she upped her game with fishnets and a baggy T-shirt.

FOLLOWING an afternoon of downpours, JESS GLYNNE banished the clouds with her performance on the Pyramid Stage.

She told the crowd: “I’m here to bring love and happiness because the weather is so awfully s**t.”

After being forced to pull out with voice problems last year, she whizzed through an hour-long set which included a cover of CHAKA KHAN’s disco hit I Feel For You.

Top Gear flop Chris Evans was among those at Glasto

CHRIS EVANS will fit right in with the great unwashed at Glasto.

The Top Gear host wore the same top-and-T-shirt combo he dons for everything to present his Radio 2 breakfast show from the festival site.

Somebody pull his arms down by his side.
